Toro Rosso are one of several teams to conduct straight-line aerodynamic tests ahead of the race at Monza, where high top speed is vital. Ferrari, Force India and Lotus have all done straight-line tests since the Belgian Grand Prix.

Buemi hasn’t scored a point since the European Grand Prix and team mate Jaime Alguersuari has been out of the points since Spain. Toro Rosso are in their first year as a full constructor in F1.

So Ferrari, Force India, Lotus and now STR have used a straight line test for Monza, do you know if any others have tested for the upcoming race?
I wonder if STR are at all annoyed at Buemi for revealing this over twitter, seems kind of confidential and now everyone knows ;/

I think they are getting rather worried of not having had points now for a while – they probably had a simple concept for it in the wings, but didn’t plan to use it before, but now things are getting a bit desperate, and since possibly the EBD is too much work for them to pull off, they revisited their decision to not use it.
